Message:Having played this game two player, many times, there is hardly a close game. May be the wife and I are lazy, too old to look at the seven cards, ponder the Places of Power and know from the start what to do. I can see quite well where I am heading but not my opponent. e.g., Sure I can count the score. I'm too far behind; I'm going to win next turn.
I still like the game, but the initial appeal is fading as I see too often the Gold-based Power-Lands dominate. May need to flair some cards. perhaps double the initial cost. Plus I have never seen a Destroy an Item create any Coup Fourré.
Too many cards that need a second option. Too many cards that should offer plus-one VP getting into play.
